Quotes:
Jen: Oh for God's sake, are you gay? Are you a gay man?
Philip: No!
Jen: Are you?
Philip: No!
Jen: No, brilliant, good. That's all I wanted to know. I don't mind one way or the other, you know, I just like being clear. I don't want any ambiguity.
Philip: What on earth made you think I was gay?
Jen: Well, you know, I can just pull it out of the air. You know, you just brought me to a gay musical, called 'Gay'. You're laughing like mad at every gay reference. Your friends... ALL of whom are gay say hello by tickling you.
Philip: Jen, what century are you living in? Do you think a man has to be gay to like a gay musical? Can a straight man not have homosexual friends? And since when was tickling gay? I missed that meeting. Jen, Jen, come here
[hugs her]
Jen: I'm sorry, I guess you just threw me when you borrowed our copy of Heat.

A Disappointment, 24 August 2007
3/10
Author: Ryan Williams from Australia

I was greatly disappointed with this episode, It was a dismal end to the massive anticipation thats plagued me since the end of season one.

There were no geek/IT jokes, it revolved around poor tasting humor aimed at the disabled and homosexuals, and was somewhat predictable.

They've relied on the the awkwardness of moss for almost all of laughs in this episode.

If episode 2 does not revisit the incredibly funny IT/geek related humor as seen in the early episodes in Season one, I doubt this show will survive to create a third season.

I'm glad they stuck with the season one intro & theme music but am baffled as to why they didn't further explore the original characters and set.
